Odd Problem with Windows Security Window/Task Manager

Hi,

I've got a really strange problem where a Windows XP Pro machine
_joined_to_a_domain_ is displaying the Task Manager rather than the
Windows Security Window when CTRL+ALT+DEL is pressed.

Normally this happens when the machine isn't in on a Domain, but this
one is. Since it's in Domain mode, there isn't the option of
displaying the Welcome screen (which is usually how you'd change this
if you were doing it manually).

I'm starting to wonder if this is being caused by the fact that the PC
(during build) had it's Default User (local) profile replaced by a
custom local profile (used to get rid of some of the usual XP chaff
from the Start Menu etc.). I've tried replacing the Default User
profile with one from a PC that pops up the correct Windows Security
Window, but still no joy.

I'm tearing my hair out trying to sort this out - I'm supposed to be
imaging 2000+ PCs with this build, and I don't think it's quite right
just yet!

Any help VERY gratefully received!

Thanks,

Sputter.
 
This was actually a problem with a customised msgina.dll file. It
worked for all the CTRL+ALT+DEL screens, but not for the Windows
Security window for some reason. Weird. Anyway, rebuilt the DLL with
a different resource editor and it works fine.
